Lets talk hoses.

I have had really poor luck with hoses over the years. I have essentially rebuilt my hoses using rubber cement and a hot glue gun. I find that many times the hoses leak at the tip, at the handle, and even at the other end, too. I even received a hose in which the wood at the bottom end was cracked. I ended up using rubber cement to actually make a permanent gasket.

I would recommend to everyone to cap the end of the hose with your thumb and blow into the mouth piece. Make sure your hose doesn't leak. If it does, a little glue or cement can usually take care of the problem.

The only times I've had leaks in my hoses was after a year or so of use. Had three different ones and they all crapped out around a year of use.

I bought two Nammor hoses a couple years back and have not had a single problem with either of them. Well, not with the hoses. I accidentally dropped the plastic mouthpiece on a tile floor at a cabin and it broke in half, but that was my bad.

Good idea! Last time I smoked, we spent an hour of our time and about 5 feet of electrical tape to fix all the leaks in the hoses!
